Summary
Mike is clueless as ever, desperately trying to piece together many internal puzzles that have to do with both his current feelings towards his best friend and said best friends past feelings towards him. It's a bit harder when he's also trying to enjoy the one and only stupid high school party he'll ever go to.
or
AU where the party goes to the party, instead of playing DND in Mike's basement.

Summary
Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.
Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.
aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

Summary
It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
The lines between joke and genuine intention are just too blurred. They go for it anyway.
or
A failed one-night stand, shapeshifting gone wrong, friends with not a lot of benefits, infinite pining and some porn along the way.
